Exciting Updates

Aspects
Legendary aspects can be a pain to manage and take up valuable inventory space.
In Season 4 when you salvage loot the aspect on it is added to your Codex of Power permanently.
Maximum power aspects now have a border making them easier to find quickly. As a bonus you can now favorite the aspects your current build uses.
While browsing the codex the info tooltip will note if you have the aspect currently equipped.
All aspects in the Codex of Power can be applied an unlimited amount of times to your gear.
Here is the current list of all Aspects including the new ones introduced in the PTR.
Helltides
- Now available in tiers 1 and 2.
- Increased cinder drops.
- New threat meter that gains threat as you kill enemies. Once full it triggers a special event.
- Blood Maiden - summoned using Baneful Hearts collected from opening tortured gifts, killing the hellborn, and one of the doomsayer variants. More than 1 player can contribute baneful hearts, each player who contributes will receive bonus loot. Loot can include: legendaries, Forgotten Souls, Lord Zir Mats, End-Game Boss mats, etc.
- Seasonal Item - Profane Mindcage (buff)Guaranteed drop from hellborn in world tier 3/4, can also drop from other activities.
When used for the next 60 minutes helltide monster level increased by 10, increased threat gain, and increased cinder drop rate.
The Pit aka Greater Rifts
If you were a fan of Diablo 3's Greater Rifts then The Pit is for you. The Pit is a timed dungeon with ever increasing difficulty and rewards. You'll have 15 minutes to complete the run, your first death removes 30 seconds from your timer with every subsequent death adding 30 seconds to that penalty (30, 60, 90...).
- New currency Rune Shards are required to access The Pit.
- Rune Shards can drop from Nightmare Dungeons, Helltide crates and during pit runs.
- Monster health increased above monster level 100.
- Tier 150 of The Pit will be close to the same difficulty as level 25 Abattoir of Zir (not easy).
- Masterworking material drops:
Masterworking Tier 1 - Pit level 1 to 29
Masterworking Tier 2 - Pit level 30 to 59
Masterworking Tier 3 - Pit 60+ - The Pit can drop obols.
Resplendent Sparks
This wonderful crafting material allows you to create Uber Uniques by visiting any potion vendor then selecting the transmute tab (4 sparks required per Uber).
You break down your excess Uber Uniques to create a spark but as we all know they do not drop often. The boss grind can be tedious and time-consuming. In Season 4 we can now get 3 of the 4 sparks needed by completing the following tasks.
- Completing the new Iron Wolves questline.
- The first time you kill echo of Lilith.
- The first tormented boss you kill.
Each of the above tasks will drop 1 resplendent spark giving you 3 of the 4 needed to craft an Uber Unique.
Tempering
One of the new ways you'll be upgrading your gear at the Blacksmith.
You can pick two different categories of affixes to add via tempering, you'll have a maximum of 5 re-rolls for the two affixes you've added (7 total rolls).
If you fail to roll the affix you want within the 7 total rolls the item breaks which means you can no longer temper it further.
Tempering Manuals unlock new tempering affixes, they drop throughout sanctuary from various sources.
You cannot temper Uniques.
Masterworking
This allows you to upgrade your gear affixes similarly to before with some notable differences.
Rank 12 is the maximum an affix can be upgraded to.
Every 4 ranks the upgrade can crit (not guaranteed) giving a massive bonus (rank 4, 8, 12).
Ranks 1-3, 5-7, and 9-11 will provide slight value increases.
You can reset affix rank at any time and start from level 0 again. Spent materials are not refunded.
Masterworking crafting materials drop from The Pit.
